Held inside the Davidson Center for Space Exploration-Saturn V Hall, doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the event runs from 6 until 8 p.m. Tickets cost $42 each and provide a discounted rate of $11 to tour the rest of the U.S. Space and Rocket Center, including 101 Inventions That Changed the World, a new SENSORY4 exhibit that opened this week.

If you want tickets for "Random Acts of Intelligence," you better hustle because only 600 were made available, and as of last week, 450 were sold.

Destin, a Huntsville native who works as an engineer at the Redstone Arsenal, explained how this event came together, what attendees can expect, and why it won't be filmed for Youtube in an interview over the phone on Monday with AL.com.

What is Random Acts of Intelligence?

Destin: "I have a lot of friends who also have Youtube channels so last year I asked them if they wanted to come hang out in Alabama. They said yes, and then I decided we should have an event with a bunch of people who might watch our channels. So we're partnering with the U.S. Space and Rocket Center and the idea is to bring people to Huntsville and make Huntsville an intelligent destination."

So what can people expect at this gathering?

Destin: "We're going to have a live panel show with all five of us and do some science experiments and really just hang out and talk. We'll also do a question and answer session about running our own Youtube channels. It's gotten a really big response. As of last week, there are people flying in from 28 different states and four different countries, just to come to this event."

How did Smarter Every Day come about?

Destin: "I've just been making videos on Youtube to educate people since 2007. I made a video called 'How to Light a Bonfire with Rockets.' People enjoyed it so I just made more and more videos."

How did you become friends with these other Youtubers?

Destin: "We actually met at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Canada. We went there for an event called BrainSTEM where we tried to get all these people in a room to interact with each other. The best practice is trying to communicate science with large audiences. So we met there and became best friends. There are no formal arrangements--we're just buddies. They're actually coming to hang out with me and we're going to go to the Mississippi State/Alabama game. But I was like, heck, we should do a live event and maybe generate enough money to cover your flights. Derek flew in from Melbourne, Australia. Grey and Brady are flying in from London. Henry is flying in from Montana."

Why won't you be recording the event for Youtube?

Destin: "We live our lives on Youtube and people know a lot about us, but we want this to be purely live so we can be a little more personal. People are really anxious that we're not recording it. People from all over the world are asking us if they can pay for a download to watch it. Each one of the channels has a couple million people that follow it so it's a big deal to get all these people in one location. You know, if you were hanging out with somebody at a restaurant and they had a camera in their face, they would act a little different than if you were just talking to them. Right?

So we're looking for that personal experience. We want to actually interact with people that care enough to get on an airplane. We want to actually shake their hand, tell them thank you for watching the videos, and answer any questions they might have."

Are you anticipating any specific questions?

Destin: "No. I just want to high five people. (laughs) These are cool people. These are people who in their free time, choose to watch educational content and make themselves smarter every day. These are not going to be your average people. In general, these are just cool people."

You mentioned that you open up about your personal life with them...

Destin: "Yeah, well, it's entertaining as well. The word people use is edutainment. We're just hoping to interact with these people instead of just being the guy behind the videos. One of the guys, C.G.P. Grey, literally just animates his videos so he's never shown his face in public. So now he'll actually get to meet people face-to-face."

That's pretty cool. Can you give us a hint as to what science experiments will take place?

Destin: "Uh, there's something that I've trained for several months to do. It's not that mind-blowing, but it's very thought-provoking. You know, we're in the Davidson Center so we're not going to use fire or anything like that. We're probably going to talk more and do a couple experiments, but nothing too crazy.

Actually, it might go later than 8 p.m. because there are telescopes outside. I did a series on how helicopters work, so a buddy of mine, he's a stunt pilot, he's going to do some tricks."

In case I can't attend, let me ask you now. What's it like being a Youtube celebrity?

Destin: "Oh, I'm not a celebrity. I'm just a normal dude who makes videos on the internet. When people see me in public and recognize me from the videos, they don't know my name. They just know the channel and the things that they learned because of the channel. I have no desire to be famous. I just have a desire to help people see the world differently."
